1861-1871 census lookup for Wedgbury in Kenilworth

[Jacquie]

Hi,
Can someone please look up a Thomas Wedgbury and family on the 1861 and 1871 census.

Address could be Castle End Kenilworth as that is what it was in 1851 and 1881.

Thomas Wedgbury would be 39 in 1861 born in Kenilworth and is a Plumber.
Wife-
Eliza age 42 born in Bulkington though in 1881 it said Ryton Warwick.
Children-
Elizabeth age 20 born in Hinckley though in 1881 is said Ryton.
Emma age 19 born in Hindkley
Eleanor age 16 born in Bulkington
Eliza age 14 born in Bulkington
May be an Ann though I think she died in 1859
George age 11 born in Kenilworth
Thomas age 7 born in Kenilworth

Thank you ever so much.

Regards Jacquie.

Thank so much for the info.

This is the right family, though I don't know why the children are not at home.

The two eldest girls Elizabeth and Emma might be under the name Lee as they are from their mother's first marriage.  On the 1851 they are under the name of Wedgbury.   Neither of them were marriage in 1861.  They both married in Kenilworth and died there. 

Eleanor married a George Higgs so the George Higgs on the 1871 census must be her son.

Eliza married a Maurice Soden but I think it was after the 1861 census.

The Ernest Eli Nixon is a relative of Thomas'wife Eliza as her maiden name before she married Mr Lee was Nixon.

And I think Ann must have died as I have found a death for a Ann Wedgbury in 1859 and I just looked on the Free BMD and found one for a George in 1851.

So the info has helped me out thank you very much.

Regards Jacquie.

Pleasure Jacquie - I wondered if there was a previous marriage involved ......

Hello Jacquie if you're still there.

This is my husband's family and I may be able to flesh out the story for you.

Obviously it would also be interesting to know if you are related.

Hi, well it's been so long since I have been on this site.  This is my husbands family,  he is not related to the Wedgbury family he is related to Eliza Nixson who first married a William Lee or Lea and then when William died she married Thomas Wedgbury.  His line comes through Elizabeth Lee.  So I am not researching the Wedgbury family, but thank you for offering to help.  Just out of curiosity, which child of Thomas Wedgbury does your husband line come through.

Regards Jacquie.

My husband's line comes through Eliza Wedgbury who had a daughter Nelley, before she married Mr Soden. Nelley was his great grandmother.
